CEU hosted the two-day “10 years in the EU – Taking Stock and Assessing Prospects” conference on April 14-15. As CEU President and Rector John Shattuck pointed out in his opening remarks, the conference was about both looking back on the past 10 years and looking forward to the future of European integration. The conference was an opportunity “to evaluate expectations, and to discuss how we got from naive EU optimism to current EU skepticism,” noted Jan Niklas Engels, director of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, the institutional co-sponsor of the event.
